| Posted 2/3/2003 11:54 AM (GMT -6) |   | I love the way greg is going with the discipleship sermons. I don't know if any of you heard erwin mcmanus when he was at woodland this past summer. he had an amazing sermon on the being disciples of christ. and about being god taught. that one of the signs of a disciple is their ability to learn directly from god. (jeremiah something...) i have listened to the sermon many times over and learned something last night that i had not heard before. he quotes ezekial 36 i think.. basically saying that the way god shows himself to the world is through our holiness. 36:23, i will show myself holy through you before their eyes. how we represent christ to the world is a way for god to get glory. i struggle in my own life of being obedient to god. listening to god.

doc: welcome to the site following. appreciate your honesty. Your struggle is the struggle of the race. Thank God you're struggling My only encouragement, right now, is to always remember its a matter of becoming in your experience what God has already made you to be in Christ.
blessings

| Posted 2/4/2003 4:23 AM (GMT -6) | | When I look in the mirror I see myself. Usually I choose to see what I want to see. Physical stuff, good and bad. It's a lot harder to look into the mirror and see my spiritual ugliness. When I disrespect my mother, she becomes a mirror to me. By looking at her, in her face, in her eyes, I am able to see the wrong I have done. Ultimately I am trying to look at the mirror of Jesus Christ and see what is reflected. Am I truly living the life that Jesus set as an example? Am I willing to follow him in that life, or am I just standing their admiring him? Admirers look from a distance, participating only when its safe. Followers strive to become the things they admire.
